Drabbles – Mood – 100 Words

Hephaestion slipped through the door to Alexanders' rooms quietly. He came to stand behind him as Alexander leaned over his desk working on a map.

The box was put down in front of Alexander, making him stop working, turning to face Hephaestion.

"What is this?" he asked puzzled.

"A gift for you, " Hephaestion said smiling, pressing his lips together.

"What for?" Alexander asked.

"For letting me share your dreams with you, I have never told you how grateful I am."

The gift was left unopened for several hours as Alexander thanked the gods again for their gift for him.
